Highlights
Pet care experience
Keeping it running while you are
I’ve done several years of pet and housesitting both short term and long term. I’ve worked with pets with medication needs, anxiety, both large and small.

Safety, trust & environment
I am firm with pets, but calm and gentle. If the animal is anxious, I like to give them space to calm down and come to me on their own terms. I’m always down to pet, cuddle or play when they’re ready though!
Ratings and reviews
When I returned from my overnight trip, all the fur babies were in good spirits. Kate has been responsive, responsible, and easy to coordinate with. It’s nice having a trusted caretaker close by. I’m looking forward to longer, carefree out-of-town trips.
Kate is always great with my dogs and takes very good care of them.
Kate is very personable & great with our pets. She did everything we asked & we were very pleased with her watching our dogs in our house. Highly recommend her.
Kate is wonderful. Even when Layla bit her! Not a 'break the skin' bite; more a warning. I apologized. Kate said she understood and that she knew Layla was anxious. Other than that, Layla was a good girl. ? Came home to a spotless house. Kate even took care of my fish and cats! I will DEFINITELY use Kate the next time I'm away.
Kate is a great dog-sitter whom my dogs absolutely adore! She is kind and gentle and I highly recommend her to care for your fur baby.
Kate took great care of our pets while we were out of town for 10 days. She was professional and thorough getting information, and visited our home before our departure. I could tell right away she was kind and caring with our pets. She took special care with our old dog and even went on a short walk with both of us to get to know her better. Our pets were glad when we got home, but I could tell they were well cared for. Kate then double checked that we were back to make sure our pets were safe. I will always recommend her for pet care.

Schedule
I work part time, I would rarely be gone more than seven hours on a day I work. I like playing with pets, giving exercise and just laying around too.

- If they have any quirks or health needs I need to know so I can prepare for it. I’d like to know their age, normal behavior and how they do with other animals too.
